| Apogee Mini DAC: Connection questions Hey guys, I have been really loving my Mini DAC driving balanced HD650s from the XLR outputs. I keep thinking I need an amp, not because I am missing anything in the sound (it sounds incredible for classical music which is what I listen to), but b... | |
| Audiophile USB to PCM I use the u24 and run itunes with Apple lossless as well, and run it into an Apogee Mini DAC. Incredible combination. | |
| DACs: Airport Express vs waveterminal vs mini-dac I answered this in the Digital thread, but I have the same setup as you and I think you can't go wrong with either the Apogee or Benchmark. I own an Apogee Mini DAC and it produces an incredible sound. I am using it with Senn HD650s with a Zu Mobi... | |
| Which DAC for computer based system? I use a G4 laptop with a U24 Waveterminal. I have connected an Apogee Mini DAC which is a very high quality source. I would highly recommend it. | |
| DACs: Airport Express vs waveterminal vs mini-dac Followup:I was in on this thread earlier on and wanted to let everybody know where I am now. I did buy a U24 to use with my G4 iBook. I purchased the Apogee Mini DAC and have my Sennheiser HD650s connected to the Apogee via XLR outputs through a b... | |

| Apogee Mini DAC: Connection questions Hugo,Sorry one more question. Did you ever mess with the inner unit adjustments for the XLR output, or did you use the factory default? cheers,dshea | |
| Apogee Mini DAC: Connection questions Great about USB. Maybe I will save some money for a Dynahi or a tube amp. | |
| Apogee Mini DAC: Connection questions Hey Hugo,Do you think it would be worth the upgrade to add the USB card connection. If there wouldn't be any major upgrade in sound quality, $195 may be a bit much to eliminate my Waveterminal U24 from the chain. It is connected to the DAC with a ... | |
| Apogee Mini DAC: Connection questions Hi Tiberian,I was hoping you were looking at these boards because you inspired me to get this amazing unit. Thanks for the tips on sound. Let me throw out a couple of other questions for you or anybody else.I notice the sound out of the line out a... | |
| USB Soundcards - faint popping/clicks Problem fixed. I recorded into the unit for the first time. This process must have reset a driver or something. The unit was restored to its original settings before I download the problem unneeded driver.Pops are gone and I am happy.dshea | |
| USB Soundcards - faint popping/clicks Thanks onhwy61. Unfortunately, there aren't any drivers for Mac OS X, they say just plug and play.dshea | |
| USB Soundcards - faint popping/clicks Hbrandt:What settings do you use in the control panel?Also how much RAM do you have?I have determined this is not an iTunes issue. No pops coming from the headphone jack, nor when I use my Transit (it has a driver). Could the Waveterminal be drawi... | |

| USB Soundcards - faint popping/clicks Thanks for the info. I am actually using iTunes and I don't have the ability to adjust the buffer, at least I haven't seen it anywhere. My hard drive is almost maxed out and somebody suggested maybe I need to clear more space for the computer to u... |
